Ileana Ros-Lehtinen hails life sentence in Cuba spy case

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is congratulating the life sentence imposed on a confessed spy for Cuba.

"We may never know the full extent of the damage caused by Kendall and Gwendolyn Myers," the Miami Republican said. "What we do know though, as illustrated by the Cuban regime’s support of their 30-plus years of espionage, is that the Havana dictatorship remains committed to undermining the United States at every turn.

"I would like to commend all of the U.S. law enforcement personnel who helped to capture the Myers’; however this is just the tip of the iceberg. Today’s sentencing is but the first step in a necessary process to provide accountability and to uncover the truth about the dangers that Cuba's spy operation, and the Myers' involvement in it, poses to U.S. security."
